Edutainment - How It Touches Our Lives?

The
world is swooning by the concept of edutainment, and so are we.
Edutainment has become the new buzzword these days, capturing the
attention of everyone, from a 24-months old child to a 60-year-old
business tycoon. And how?It
is because this unintentional and informal way of gaining knowledge is
way more interesting that the conventional ways. And here learning is
not just limited to gaining enough knowledge to pass the examinations,
it is much larger than that. Countries these days are using means of
edutainment to spread awareness about various fatal diseases and social
issues like cancer and women abuse respectively. Movie makers and
software developers now-a-days come up with entertaining products that
help attract and maintain the audience, while blending in some
deliberate message or sort of knowledge. The
consumer is more aware now- more aware of where he is going, what is he
consuming, and what can be the possible outcomes of what he does. This
is because he is open to learning now-- condition being it isn’t boring
anyways! Products are being marketed in a way that the consumer trusts
them completely, and gets important message in a much lighter manner.
And hence, companies are raking in profits simply by presenting the
consumers with sources that make sure we learn a lot while getting
amused. Media has played a vital role in expanding this concept to every
nook-and-corner of the world. Majority of computer games being
developed these days ensure the same, and become instant hits with the
people playing them. And the schools, where the future scientists and
doctors of the Earth spend a major part of their day, have also come up
with creative learning strategies that do not let children surround by
boring vibes while going to schools.That said, edutainment has a bright future ahead. And it is here to remain-growing bigger by the second!Like Edutainment on Facebook l Follow Edutainment on Twitter l Follow Edutainment on Tumblr l Join Edutainment on YouTube
